UNSPSC 50312008: Organic loganberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic loganberries

UNSPSC 50312008 Organic loganberries (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialty fruit product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic loganberries or any comparable organic berries at the retail or wholesale level. Instead, state and local school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are soliciting fresh produce broadly—including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and mixed berries—under institutional food service contracts that emphasize domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, and HACCP certification. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope (organic loganberries specifically) and the wide-ranging produce procurement activity documented in the recent opportunities suggests that either the code is rarely used by state and local buyers or that loganberries are not a meaningful line item in school nutrition programs.

School districts, county boards of education, and independent school systems issue the bulk of produce solicitations shown in the recent activity, with smaller volumes from the State of Georgia and individual school districts. Buyers span Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County schools and the state purchasing office), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program specialty produce due March 11, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. These solicitations uniformly prioritize HACCP compliance, weekly delivery, domestic agricultural content, and food safety traceability—none mention loganberries or organic certification as evaluated factors.
